Blake Shelton: Not Such an Outcast After All

Blake Shelton's immediate reaction to his A-C-M nomination in the Vocal Event category for Hillbilly Bone was "thrilled and shocked." After he had a moment to digest it, he said, "This is the best day of my life -- I got to read the nominations with the Queen of Country Music, Reba. And then I find out 'Hillbilly Bone' is nominated! I'm glad that my first nomination in years is with one of my great friends, Trace Adkins. The only thing that could make this day better is if Betty White was there to give me the award should I win!"
